Forwarding this from a downstream bug report: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432322 Description of problem: If you start evolution for the first time, a setup wizard asks for account settings. The window size is 1392 x 579 pixels. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-data-server-1.12.3-2.el5 evolution-2.12.3-1.el5 evolution-connector-2.12.3-2.el5 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6 evolution-help-2.12.3-1.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use evolution the first time, make sure the is no existing profile 2. LANG=de_DE evolution 3. Actual results: Setup wizard starts but uses huge window Expected results: Setup wizard start with max. windows size fitting into 1024x768 resolution. Additional info: Other locales seem to be affected too. But Window size is different.
Created attachment 104970 [details] Big giant window I think the label on this setup page just needs to be word wrapped.
It looks ugly when I word wrap it. It also wraps English text, which has already the \n inside it. So I would like to suggest to rather change the text in localization, adding new line char at the proper place would be nice. It's about this text and also about text in time zone selection.
Created attachment 105164 [details] with wrapping on it doesn't look so nice when wrapping is on
Created attachment 105165 [details] second longest text there
Created attachment 105167 [details] [review] proposed evo patch (string change) for evolution; change in de.po, just added few new liners to break text more accurately, as guenther suggested on IRC. He and Matt also stated the better solution would be to change packing there and let gtk wrap it as necessary. (I know, there is a String Freeze, among of other winter pleasures.)
I just want to say that I realized I'm wrong with string freeze. If I understand it correctly, then that's the string freeze for the code, so translators can make their job. And because this is a translation fix, then that's fine. I'm sorry for confusion.
Milan, I think one of the german translators should approve it. May be not me.. Andre: I have seen some translations by you. Or should it be some one else?
srini: for future reference, please reassign to the affected translation team. thanks.
Sure Andre. Thx for the info also.
